I’m always drawn to pretty or unusual boxes and chests when browsing in antique or home furnishings shops.  It can be difficult though to find reasonably priced items that combine quality with ethical concerns.  So I was very pleased to stumble across Myakka with their ranges of furniture from a single fair trade supplier in [...]

At this time of year you might be thinking about home improvement projects for the coming 12 months.  Kitchen and bathroom are top of my wishlist and they may need to remain there, but that hasn’t stopped me window shopping.  Susie Watson Designs have some lovely tiles that are a little bit different from the [...]

I’ve been looking around for some new duvet covers, but I’ve been a bit frustrated by the range available in environmentally friendly fabrics.  All too often it’s a choice between white and cream plain covers and I prefer more colour and pattern. So I was pleasantly surprised by the range of prints available from The [...]
